MILLERTON — Chasing down the bad guys and protecting the good guys just got a little easier for the Millerton Police Department, thanks to a newly-purchased police vehicle. According to Officer-in-Charge David Rudin, the SUV will help make the department’s job a little easier.

“It’s wonderful,” he said. “It’s got a lot of today’s technology in it.”

And it’s sleek, said Rudin, who added that he’d drive it as a personal car — no less as a police vehicle.

MILLERTON — At the start of the meeting on Monday, June 19, Mayor Debbie Middlebrook appointed Stephen Waite to an open seat on the Village Board.
Waite previously served on the Board of Trustees from 2015 until this spring, when he decided not to run for re-election due to personal reasons. Waite said the experience had been very good and that he always tried to work with everyone regardless of their political affiliation, “as long as it helps move the business forward and better the community.”

Eighth-graders at Eugene Brooks Intermediate School celebrated the end of the academic year with a semi-formal dance last week. The dinner dance had the theme of “A Night in the City,” and students said it was the ideal way to wrap up a busy year. Most said they’re looking forward to a relaxing summer before returning to the district and the new challenges they’ll face while attending Webutuck High School.

MILLERTON — In what looked like a scene from “The Wizard of Oz,” a building used by Rock Steady Farm and Flowers, at The Watershed Center at 41 Kaye Road in Millerton, was left in smithereens following a microburst on Monday, June 19.
The mini tornado ripped through the farm building as if it was built of matchsticks. It destroyed office equipment and devastated the farm’s seed catalogue. It also left three farmers inside at the time with minor injuries, ranging from a concussion to puncture wounds and cuts and bruises.

MILLERTON — Frustrations are growing regarding where the town of North East’s new highway garage should be located. For the past few years, the Town Board has informed the community that its existing garage at 11 South Center St., Millerton, is in a state of disrepair. But various sites the town has considered to build new, or to renovate existing buildings, have fallen through — none quite measuring up anyway.

MILLERTON— For many, the Spring for Sound music festival on Saturday, June 10, was an outstanding event. Yet for others, the festival itself brought more concern than joy.

MILLERTON — If a picture is worth a thousand words, the photography book newly donated to the NorthEast-Millerton Library is priceless.
Through an anonymous donation, the book, “Chester Eisenhuth Photographer …” showcases beautiful photographs of Millerton from the 1930s through the 1950s. The 51-page, predominantly black-and-white book was compiled by Mark Goodman. But at $200, it was just too expensive for the library to buy outright. An anonymous donor helped solve that difficulty.

MILLERTON — The North East Community Center (NECC) has acquired a new transit van for its Dial-A-Ride program.
